Log Trivet : John Truex

Log trivet consists of two machined solid stainless steel bars, each 1.25″ in diameter by 10″ long. A flat surface is machined into the bottom of each bar to create a resting point. It is part of a series of trivets made from solid stock material with minimal manipulation, highlighting the weight and intrinsic value of the material while providing a flexible base for serving hot casseroles and allowing pans to cool.

I’m assuming that Alberto’s comment here means that this is the most easily produced of the three trivets. Right?
Jonathan likes the simplicity. The form is ‘open’ to interpretation. It looks like a simple mass of material. It requires the user to configure them, but is versatile.

It might be handy if these trivets were all made from the same size stock–the log trivet is 1.25″ while the others are 1″… an owner might be more likely to choose to own all of them if is possible to mix and match them.

Katie, I’ve been living with the prototypes I made at the workshop and I think they might all be too large. Maybe slightly decreasing the overall sizes and going to 7/8″ or so for the stock (consistent across the three types) could work.
